Setting Up a Study Space for Online Learning [INGOGRAPHIC]

A home office is a great place to study. Be sure you have plenty of room
for both a computer and folders or notebooks.

Keep your study space free of distractions as much as possible. You can
let friends and family know your school schedule so they’ll know
not to contact you during this time unless it’s an emergency.

As an online student, you’ll need an internet connection that’s
fast and reliable.

If you have physical books, keep them all in a place that’s easy
to reach from your study space.

Utilize natural lighting if possible. If you are studying at night, be
sure you have ideal lighting conditions.

If you plan on studying for long periods of time, take short breaks every
so often to stretch your legs and stay alert.

While many students like to listen to music while they study, it may not
be your best option. Ambient noise can help you focus and minimize distractions.

Breathing fresh air can help you concentrate and avoid dozing off. If the
weather is nice you can open a window. If not, houseplants can improve
indoor air quality or an air purifier can do the same with the added benefit
of ambient noise.
